Producing a quality wine is always a challenge. Sometimes, it even calls for boldness when exploring new paths. Not adding sulfur after harvest is not without risk, but the result is a bright, natural red wine that made the bold choice worthwhile.

Grown on the silty clay soils of the Minervois terroir, Merlot benefits from optimal exposure and a characteristic Mediterranean garrigue.

This exceptional wine is made using no-added-sulfur vinification, a bold and courageous choice reflecting the Domaine’s commitment to authenticity and the natural purity of the fruit.

The parcels enjoy ideal sunshine throughout the year, allowing Merlot to express all its fruity richness and natural freshness.

Winemaking

Traditional vinification under controlled temperature. The Merlot grapes are vinified separately to optimize the extraction of primary aromas and tannic structure. This no-added-sulfur wine is a technical and philosophical choice that highlights the natural purity of the fruit and authentic aromas. Ageing in stainless steel tanks preserves freshness and characteristic liveliness.
